Just a quick question for those who've been through surgery already. I'm planning on taking fairly baggy things with us for Genevieve: I think she's going to borrow some of my t-shirts as I'm quite a bit bigger than she is (all that worrying and comfort food!).
However, I did see (I think) on one of the threads that you can get some pain raising your arms post op and I wondered (in the middle of the night - the way you do) whether button-down-the-front things might be better. But then I thought I would have to roll her to get them on and that might be worse. I'll have to roll her to change pads and such anyway so it might be possible to kill two birds with one stone if I can dress her at the same time. That's not always possible though.
I am going to get some sweatpant type trousers that should be easy to get on her. I've become very conscious recently that she seems to grown again and I'm having to tug a lot to get her into clothes that fitted quite easily a couple of months ago.
Be grateful for any thoughts.
